I don't even know Hyatt, but I'm following her story. I'm a friend of her friend, Alison. Her story has touched me and I pray for her and her family. God bless.

I look at this picture and it seems unfathomable (is that a word??) that this has happened.

What a beautiful picture for all who know Hyatt to be reminded of her sweetness... and what a great picture for all those who don't know Hyatt to put a beautiful face to their thoughtful prayers.

All our Love, Thoughts and Prayers,
Margaret, Rich, Lindsey and Jamie Asbell

Troy,

As a wife and mother like Hyatt, I can tell you that the last thing I would ever want my husband and children to feel is pain. Pain is clearly not optional in this situation, but I am sure that Hyatt would want you to continue to find moments of joy in every day...and to help your children find that same contentment I see in her eyes. That is the kind of contentment that comes from a life well lived, and from being well loved. You were chosen for Hyatt for a reason, and your love will make it possible to overcome obstacles you never imagined would fall into your path. Still praying for your strength. Still praying for Hyatt's miracle. Hang in there, Troy.

Troy, We have been following Hyatt's condition even though we don't know any of your family. Many people here in Tennesse have been keeping her in their prayers and will continue to do so. ALL things are possible with Him and He remains in control! We will continue to lift her in prayer as well as you and your family.

Dear Troy, Sidney, Rebekah, and all of Hyatt's family,

I'm grateful to each of you for sharing the story of Hyatt and for asking for support. You have mine. I've known Hyatt since her days at IU. While I wouldn't put myself in the "best friend" ring, Hyatt and I have been good friends and been able to maintain the friendship over time and space. I last saw her a few years back when she did an EPA rotation in Denver, just before Sidney came along. Over the weeks of her rotation, we'd get together to run and to dine (those of you who run know that food has to follow!). One of our dinners was on the 16th street mall, at Marlowe's, in the open summer air. We had a great time, we told stories, shared dreams, and basically enjoyed nothing more than that it was a glorious, warm and spunky evening and we were in the presence of good friends. There was something about that night that made us both feel free. There's a picture somewhere, I think it was on Hyatt's camera.

It's taken me a few days to process the magnitude of this situation since Troy told me about Hyatt's situation Monday. These events are life changing. Unfortunately, or fortunately, no one who hasn't gone through a similar situation knows just how much. But the human spirit is STRONG, and through love it grows and grows. Ironically, it's the blips in life that can fuel our appreciation for it.

Hyatt and each of you are in my thoughts and intentions, and I continue to send you love and strength to help ease your sadness and lonliness.

Hyatt is truly a remarkable woman, and each of you is blessed to have her in your life.

Much Love,
Christine Martell

What a wonderful picture of a mother holding with ease her beautiful child.

It makes me think of all the good times, the smiles, the hugs and the times the kids fall asleep in my arms and I have their breath blowing warmly on my neck. So sweet.

Thank you for sharing with us. Also, I just listened to Hyatt singing from the post Allen put up, what a beautiful voice. I am still searching for a tissue to dry my eyes!
